This stunning, modern residence was designed with a northeast farmhouse typology by LaRue Architects. The home’s layout features modern cantilevered ‘boxes’ juxtaposed with gabled house forms. Situated atop a steep hill in Austin’s Rollingwood neighborhood, the site features spectacular downtown views of the city’s growing skyline. Dubbed Rollingwood Modern, the sprawling 6,700 SF home features new interiors by Kelle Contine Interior Design (KCID). Photography by Chase Daniel.
This mid-century terraced house designed by AGORA architecture + design is located in the quiet suburban area of Corstorphine, Edinburgh. A previous front extension had resulted in a long narrow kitchen, separated from the living room and the back garden. The fragmented layout meant that the family were often in separate rooms: cooking, doing homework, watching TV. Our brief was to create a layout that would allow the family to be together more, and to bring the kitchen to the heart of the home. Photography by Alix Macintosh.
Apartment in Cais do Sodré is a project designed by Vasco Lima Mayer. Despite having a typical Lisbon design, with high ceilings and wide corridors, this project always had the objective of making a comfortable home within the parameters of contemporaneity. Photography by Fernando Guerra | FG+SG.

The project designed by Arce&Westermeier Arquitectos is located in the northern sector of the commune of Valdivia, Los Rios Region (Chile), immersed in an evergreen vegetation that together with a strong rainy climate characterizes the so-called Valdivian Rainforest. The commission originally consisted of a small shelter of 45 square meters, adjacent to the main house of the property. The volume is specifically inserted in a sloping area within the property, gaining a height through piles that seek panoramic views of the area, specifically towards the west, where the Calle-Calle River is located. The project materializes this search through a completely glazed face, this visual escape is built through a curtain wall of almost six meters long, thus achieving an accentuated friction between the domestic interior and the wild exterior.

The Lowe House is a project designed by Palette Architecture. Nestled in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, a block of captivating houses designed by Frank S. Lowe for the Kingston Realty Company in 1906 continues to charm residents today. Over the years, these houses have undergone transformations, culminating in their designation as landmarks in 1979. Among them, one residence had lost its way, masked by layers of paint and replaced doors and windows. Recognizing its hidden potential, the new owners turned to Palette Architecture to revive the house, merging contemporary design with restored historic charm. Photography by Jody Kivort.
Seattle Backyard Cottages is a project designed by Office of Ordinary Architecture. This project offered the rare opportunity to design not one, but two, backyard getaways. Located in Seattle’s Greenwood neighborhood, these home owners wanted an office and a yoga studio behind their existing home. In collaboration with Board & Vellum’s landscape design team we created two cottages in conversation with each other around a brand new backyard that featured a fire pit, hot tub, and outdoor dining. The space is now a true oasis. Photography by Tina M Witherspoon.
